2. HC Wainwright analysts commented, "We note that the biopsy analysis from the tumors of patients with rGBM, presented at SNO 2017, showed that Ad-RTS-hIL-12 plus veledimex monotherapy led to upregulation of PD-1 and PD-L1 receptors, suggesting a potential synergy between IL-12 and anti-PD-1 agents. Together with the shift to combinations, management also intends to expand the Ad-RTS-hIL-12 program beyond recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM) to include additional oncologic indications, such as breast cancer and melanoma. We note that the company plans to present an update of the biopsy analysis from the patients with rGBM and advanced breast cancer treated with Ad- RTS-hIL-12 plus veledimex at ASCO on June 4, 2018."
